Remarks: Started with a warm spring. Wet weather early summer was cancelled out by very dry January. As we started to anticipate very high quality and quantity,
unusual rain pattern arrived in early February and the optimism was dashed.
Very dry spell arrived second half of the month and continued into March,
which was critical. Some rain later in March but dry weather returned in
April, harvested under clear sky. Strict sorting reduced the expected higher
yield significantly, 13hl/ha.
